4. REVIEW OF FEEDBACK FROM:

A. Students:
(Please consider student feedback analysis received from QA department, Mid-Semester KEEP-
STOP-START student feedback (Engineering only), student representative feedback from SSCC
meetings, and any other significant informal feedback from students where applicable).
All students provided very positive feedback on the learning outcomes, course materials and the
delivery by the teaching team. Comments from the students reflected the good conduct of the
delivery of the module for the first time.

B. Staff:
(Please consider feedback received from teaching staff and staff affected by module)
The teaching team were pleased with the students in this year, with no complaints. Although the
student number was low, all students demonstrated a good understanding of the module, with
one particular student falling in the outstanding range.

C. External Examiners:
(Please comment on any feedback received from External Examiners regarding all aspects of
module delivery, including assessment).
The EE’s comments were generally positive, with only some comments regarding some minor
adjustments to the grading criteria.

5. EVALUATION OF MODULE DELIVERY (current academic year)

Please evaluate delivery of the module under the headings A, B & C, below.
A. ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED
(Please list all issues, related to module delivery that need to be addressed e.g. issues raised at
committee meetings, feedback reviews, personal tutoring sessions etc.)
No serious issues.

B. GOOD PRACTICE
(Please report any good practice in the delivery of the module that may be shared with colleagues at
MTC. e.g. use of innovative teaching technologies, which are not currently adopted at MTC).
The module had provided the students with a grasp of advanced techniques that can be used to
analyze civil engineering structures. Topics ranged from stiffness methods to dynamic analysis.
Student’s particularly enjoyed computer lab classes where they implemented StaadPro software to
model multi-storey buildings to analyze its stability.

5. MODULE PERFORMANCE
Please comment on the final results for the module (as approved at the Module Assessment Board
(MAB) and compare with performance from the previous two years, taking into account pass rate,
module average, and students’ feedback).
This year was the first time to run this module. Overall performance for this academic year was very
satisfactory, with a 100 % pass rate (even though very few students participated).
All students provided good feedback, and further appreciated the challenge that the module provided.
